Former Alabama football players will make up three of the 17 confirmed attendees for the 2025 NFL Draft, the league announced on Monday. Tyler Booker, Jihaad Campbell and Jalen Milroe will all be at the draft, which will be held in Green Bay this year.
Booker spent two seasons as a starter at guard for the Crimson Tide. He picked up various All-SEC and All-America honors throughout his tenure in Tuscaloosa.
The former Crimson Tide captain is seen as a first-round selection by most mock drafts. He left Alabama early to enter the draft this past season.
The 6-foot-6, 321-pound Booker was back in Tuscaloosa on Saturday for the Tide’s Walk of Fame ceremony as part of A-Day. He spoke of how much UA meant to him before making his hand and cleat prints beneath Denny Chimes.
“I’m from New Haven, Connecticut,” Booker said. “That’s not a big football state, but I’ve loved the game of football since I can remember. So coming somewhere football has a love and a culture and a community behind it, like here, is just truly a blessing.”
Campbell also forwent a year of eligibility at Alabama to enter the draft. The linebacker starred for the Crimson Tide last season, his first year in a full-time starting role
Campbell is also seen as a likely first-round pick. He had 119 total tackles, including five sacks, for UA last season.
Milroe was Alabama’s starting quarterback for the past two seasons. He was inconsistent throughout his time in Tuscaloosa, showing off elite athletic ability and arm talent, but also a tendency to make poor decisions.
The Texas native is in contention to be the third quarterback off the board in the draft. Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders will likely be taken before Milroe.
The first round of the draft is scheduled for April 24. The second and third rounds are set for April 25, and the final four rounds will take place April 26.
